The Reactions to Obama’s Post About His Presidential Center Are Hilarious – RedState

I don’t know if you’ve seen anything about Barack Obama’s presidential center. But if you didn’t, he posted about it on Saturday. 





“When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, it will be a hub for change — a place for people from all over the world to come together, get inspired, and take what they learn back to their own communities.”

It’s been a boondoggle now for some time. It is, in fact, the perfect representation of Barack Obama. 

Here’s a Newsweek headline on the project: “Behind Schedule, Over Budget, and Mired in Lawsuits.”

The local community was also unhappy with it or had concerns. 

The Obama Center – which has faced years of delays and lawsuits since breaking ground in September 2021 – will cover nearly 20 acres of the 540-acre Jackson Park and feature a museum, public library branch, athletic center, gardens and children’s play area.

While the privately funded project’s price tag has ballooned from its original $500 million budget, residents said they’ve also seen rents and property taxes skyrocket as construction nears completion.

“Rents are going up fast,” Kyana Butler of Southside Together, one of at least three local activist groups that lobbied the Obama Foundation to better integrate the project into the surrounding neighborhood, told the Daily Mail.

“A two-bedroom apartment that used to rent for $800 a month has already jumped to $1,800. Property taxes are going up so much that the owner of my building is saying she might just walk away.





One resident called it a “monstrosity,” taking away from the beautiful area that once was there. So much for the feelings of the locals. Guess those got lost in the narcissism.

But it’s sort of hilarious that Obama is posting about it, standing there with Michelle, and admiring it, like it’s something great, because quite frankly, it has to be one of the ugliest buildings I’ve ever seen. “Let’s bring change home,” the video ends. That’s a change, all right. But just like the change that Obama brought to the country, it’s not looking good, like the gray ugliness of the buildings of the Soviet Union or a dystopian prison.

Some posted videos with “Star Wars” X-wing fighters closing in on the library building, while others Photoshopped the structure sideways to replace the torsos of the massive AT-AT walkers from “The Empire Strikes Back.”

Others superimposed the Eye of Sauron from the “Lord of the Rings” movies on its roof, and others simply posted photos of Easter Island heads.

Kitty litter boxes were also included in the comparisons, as were common trash bins, dumpsters, and ephemera from “Star Trek” and “A Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.”

“It’s an ‘obamanation’! Just like his presidency!” one person wrote.

“It’s like someone built a Lego set without the instructions,” said another.





Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said it was a “bold move” to locate the “Death Star” in Chicago. 

Scott Adams thought North Korean guard tower. 

Seriously, paying $830 million for this explains one of the reasons the Obama presidency was such a failure.

On April 12, 2021, a Knoxville police officer shot and killed an African American male student in a bathroom at Austin-East High School. The incident caused social unrest, and community members began demanding transparency about the shooting, including the release of the officer’s body camera video. On the evening of April 19, 2021, the Defendant and a group of protestors entered the Knoxville City-County Building during a Knox County Commission meeting. The Defendant activated the siren on a bullhorn and spoke through the bullhorn to demand release of the video. Uniformed police officers quickly escorted her and six other individuals out of the building and arrested them for disrupting the meeting. The court upheld defendants’ conviction for “disrupting a lawful meeting,” defined as “with the intent to prevent [a] gathering, … substantially obstruct[ing] or interfere[ing] with the meeting, procession, or gathering by physical action or verbal utterance.” Taken in the light most favorable to the State, the evidence shows that the Defendant posted on Facebook the day before the meeting and the day of the meeting that the protestors were going to “shut down” the meeting. During the meeting, the Defendant used a bullhorn to activate a siren for approximately twenty seconds. Witnesses at trial described the siren as “loud,” “high-pitched,” and “alarming.” Commissioner Jay called for “Officers,” and the Defendant stated through the bullhorn, “Knox County Commission, your meeting is over.” Commissioner Jay tried to bring the meeting back into order by banging his gavel, but the Defendant continued speaking through the bullhorn. Even when officers grabbed her and began escorting her out of the Large Assembly Room, she continued to disrupt the meeting by yelling for the officers to take their hands off her and by repeatedly calling them “murderers.” Commissioner Jay called a ten-minute recess during the incident, telling the jury that it was “virtually impossible” to continue the meeting during the Defendant’s disruption. The Defendant herself testified that the purpose of attending the meeting was to disrupt the Commission’s agenda and to force the Commission to prioritize its discussion on the school shooting. Although the duration of the disruption was about ninety seconds, the jury was able to view multiple videos of the incident and concluded that the Defendant substantially obstructed or interfered with the meeting. The evidence is sufficient to support the Defendant’s conviction. Defendant also claimed the statute was “unconstitutionally vague as applied to her because the statute does not state that it includes government meetings,” but the appellate court concluded that she had waived the argument by not raising it adequately below. Sean F. McDermott, Molly T. Martin, and Franklin Ammons, Assistant District Attorneys General, represent the state.
